In his latest battle to maintain his dictatorship over the masses that don’t want him in power, Libya’s idiot-tyrant Col. Muammar Qadaffi has used cluster bombs on civilians, leading Sec. of State Hillary Clinton to remark at a news conference in Berlin:

“I’m not surprised by anything that Colonel Qadaffi and his forces do.”

“Shortly after the attack some US media reported alleged statements by unnamed US government sources who said that US cruise missiles launched on presidential orders had been fired at two alleged al-Qa’ida sites in Yemen.”

Cluster bombs are a particularly nasty weapon in a world of nasty weapons; they’re indiscriminate and therefore impossible to use without killing civilians. As Amnesty arms control researcher Mike Lewis pointed out:

“Cluster munitions have indiscriminate effects and unexploded bomblets threaten lives and livelihoods for years afterwards. All governments responsible for using them must urgently provide assistance to clear unexploded munitions.”
